Add 1 More Tier to Hierarchy

How WF approaches the overall hierarchy is great:

Portfolio

Program

Project

However, in large organizations using the tool there is a need for 1 more level. The name could be debated, but I would recommend COMPANY. This would be a tier that would encompass multiple portfolios

Company

Portfolio

Program

Project

We have 6 distinct organizations now in WF and this would help provide better separation in portfolio management.

    I agree wholeheartedly and have been asking for this for the past 2 years! We need at least one more level of hierarchy but ideally the flexibility to add as many levels as our company need dictates. We have worked around the issue of company by using the out of the box Company field which adds a tag to projects and enables reporting of all projects with that tag regardless of the portfolio. Our need is for a Product level:

    Portfolio

    Product

    Program

    Project

    Today, Product and Program share a level which makes reporting difficult.

    Also, there is another idea already submitted that is similar:
